Welcome to Tollcross Glasgow
Tollcross is an area north of the River Clyde in Glasgow and has a popular park which is famed for its international rose trials. It lies approximately a mile east of the neighbouring suburb of Parkhead, and just north of Braidfauld and south of Shettleston.

Tollcross area was once host to mass employment in the industrial age thanks largely to the large Fullarton steel works, but now faces social deprivation issues as does much of the east end of Glasgow. McVitie's biscuit factory is one of the main employers in the area today.

Tollcross part of the Tollcross area was formerly known as Egypt, and is still marked so on a number of maps. The name is believed to have been derived from a farm that existed at one time in the vicinity, operated by a former soldier who had been stationed in Egypt. The farm, owned by the Gordon family in the 1920's before being sold to the Hamilton family is still there today
